Queen's offers 10 dynamic engineering programs

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is the most universal and versatile of engineering disciplines.

Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is a challenging and dynamic profession serving society to improve the quality of our life, the health of our social system, the continuity of our economy and business activities, and our competitive position in the international market place.

Computer Engineering

Did you know recent surveys have shown that Electrical and Computer Engineers are amongst the highest demand university graduates and that Computer Engineers are listed amongst the professions with the highest quality of life?

Engineering Chemistry

Engineering Chemistry graduates bring a strong background in both chemistry and chemical engineering to treat problems of industrial interest.

Engineering Physics

Thinking of Engineering Physics? It could lead to a career in Science & Technology, Aerospace, Computers & Electronics, Image Processing & Medical Physics, Finance, Education & Management, or Academic, Industrial & Government Research.

Geological Engineering

A Geological Engineer combines a knowledge of geological materials and earth engineering design principles to create viable and sustainable projects.

Mathematics and Engineering

The Mathematics and Engineering undergraduate programme is a challenging one. Students who are most successful in the programme have deep interests in both Mathematics and Engineering. If you are an Engineering student wondering whether Mathematics and Engineering is for you, a good question to ask yourself is, "Do you want to know
why and not just what?"

The prize recognizes outstanding contributions by faculty members to the research environment in the FEAS at Queen’s. Winners of the award will receive a grant of $10,000 to be used to support their research. The award is intended to reward faculty for their research leadership and for fostering collaborative growth at the graduate level within the faculty. Only assistant and associate professors are eligible and are to be nominated by heads of departments or by other faculty members.

Hoult says the money will enable him to send more of his graduate students to conferences and perhaps to buy some additional lab equipment.

“It feels excellent to receive this honour,” says Hoult. “Obviously the faculty has a number of bright, young researchers and to be singled out among them feels tremendous. I feel lucky because of the great quality of researchers who have already won this award. All the applications were very strong, so I’m happy to have been selected.”

Hoult’s research interests include testing and monitoring of reinforced concrete, deteriorated infrastructure performance, buried infrastructure, and other structures. It’s work that can help make the infrastructure we all depend on in our daily lives cost less, last longer, and be more environmentally sustainable.

“Sometimes people think of structural engineering as a solved problem,” says Hoult. “In fact, not only are there are a number of challenges that still need to be addressed in light of our existing, deteriorating, infrastructure, but there is a real need for new, more environmentally friendly and novel solutions to structural engineering problems. The use of sensor technologies can help address both of these challenges
